🌍✨ Researchers find manganese can cause battery flaw that may shorten EV lifespans
Why we’re watching: While cobalt-free, high-nickel cathode batteries such as manganese-coated nickel core batteries have emerged as a potential method to increase EV driving range while reducing dependence on expensive critical minerals, research suggests that exposing precurs…
A study at Hanyang University in South Korea found that exposing battery precursor materials to air alters manganese chemistry, creating reactive surface defects that accelerate electrolyte breakdown and could significantly reduce the lifespan of these next… 💚
An adjustment in lithium content during synthesis can suppress these defects and restore stability, helping manufacturers develop longer-lasting, high-energy batteries for future electric vehicles, according to the research team led by Professor Jin Ho Bang…
